Governance And Engagement Lead

Improved data governance has enabled sensitive data tracking but cost management still needs work

I believe we could improve Databricks integration with cloud service providers. The impact of our current integration has not been particularly good, and it's becoming very expensive for us. The inefficiencies in our implementation, such as not shutting down warehouses when they're not in use or reserving the right number of credits, have led to increased costs. We made several beginner mistakes, such as not taking advantage of incremental loading and running overly complicated queries all the time. We should be using ETL tools to help us instead of doing it directly in Databricks. We need more experienced professionals to manage Databricks effectively, as it's not as forgiving as other platforms such as Snowflake. I think introducing customer repositories would facilitate easier implementation with Databricks.

Powerful BI tool for analyzing financial performance and stable performance

I would rate the scalability of Jedox a seven out of ten. There is room for improvement in the scalability. It is a very massive tool. It's not easy to just build everything yourself. So that's where the main improvements lie—making it easy for people to not depend on just technical finance teams. There are almost 50 to 60 users using Jedox in our organization.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"One of the newest features brought into this solution provides you with a way to solve, deploy, and train models using the platform itself, or it can connect to your Azure Machine Learning in order to train, deploy, and productionalize some of the machine learning models."

"Databricks serves as a single platform for conducting the entire end-to-end lifecycle of machine learning models or AI ops."

"Databricks also offers exceptional performance and scalability."

"I like how easy it is to share your notebook with others. You can give people permission to read or edit. I think that's a great feature. You can also pull in code from GitHub pretty easily. I didn't use it that often, but I think that's a cool feature."

"Databricks is a unified platform that provides features like streaming and batch processing so all the data scientists, analysts, and engineers can collaborate on a single platform and it has all the features you need, so you don't need to go for any other tool."

"Databricks is a scalable solution. It is the largest advantage of the solution."

"The processing capacity is tremendous in the database."

"I like the simplicity and ease of use."

More Databricks pros

"The ETL itself was pretty useful and it's integrated in the tenant itself. So the Olap service technology was impressive to me. In order to extract that and load it in the tube in the same tenant or the same tool that was something magnificent because I actually missed this in SEB. SEB requires another tool, and you have to integrate all the tools together. But for Jedox, it was in the one tool."

"The system is quite flexible. Based on our requirements, we create different cubes that can help us to do complete planning."

"The solution is quick with analysis and calculation. The tool offers high digitalization which helps us to run the controlling department with less number of people. If the software wasn't there, I would need two to three people extra to run the department."

"The data entry point is most valuable. The way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."

"The Excel interface is designed to retrieve data from the database and send it back, which is a significant advantage."

"The data entry point is most valuable, and the way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."

"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."

"The solution is very versatile."

More Jedox pros

Cons

"A lot of people are required to manage this solution."

"Costs can quickly add up if you don't plan for it."

"The connectivity with various BI tools could be improved, specifically the performance and real time integration."

"I would like to see the integration between Databricks and MLflow improved. It is quite hard to train multiple models in parallel in the distributed fashions. You hit rate limits on the clients very fast."

"There should be better integration with other platforms."

"We'd like a more visual dashboard for analysis It needs better UI."

"The stability of the clusters or the instances of Databricks would be better if it was a much more stable environment. We've had issues with crashes."

"The product could be improved by offering an expansion of their visualization capabilities, which currently assists in development in their notebook environment."

More Databricks cons

"The tool has changed its pricing and it's now too expensive for small and medium organizations. I miss the open-source version which was free and we could do a lot of things with it."

"Visualization is something they need to improve. There should be some dropdown facilities in it like Excel."

"From a development perspective, there's room for improvement in the area called the designer, where you actually build your reports to make it easier to manage the process."

"There is room for improvement in the scalability. It is a very massive tool. It's not easy to just build everything yourself."

"There is not much training for Jedox."

"The solution should enable a modern look and feel in the front end."

"Being an analytical solution, it should have more visualization options like graphs. When we are putting it, it should have more options. The UI can be made more modernized based on today's market. Sometimes, when we are doing heavy reports or dashboarding, there is a bit of a performance issue because it is pulling up a huge amount of data. That can be improvised by buffer memory and getting some buffer memory feature into it. It is a bit complex because it is a CPM solution. It helps you to get the information based on the different tools that we are using, which is a bit of a complex thing. It is not as easy as Microsoft Power BI. It is also not that easy as an implementation piece. It takes time to convert the business requirement into the proper solutions in the tool, which is time-consuming. It took about eight months to do the complete implementation. We got some training from the partner and the Jedox team, which helped us later on in pulling things forward, but too much learning is required, and too many possibilities are there."

"More emphasis is needed on the availability of the learning aspect of the solution. Because unless you take up their course that enables you to be an expert in creating the report, you must seek help."

More Jedox cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Databricks are not costly when compared with other solutions' prices."

"Licensing on site I would counsel against, as on-site hardware issues tend to really delay and slow down delivery."

"The cost is around $600,000 for 50 users."

"The solution is affordable."

"The solution requires a subscription."

"We have only incurred the cost of our AWS cloud services. This is because during this period, Databricks provided us with an extended evaluation period, and we have not spent much money yet. We are just starting to incur costs this month, I will know more later on the full cost perspective."

"The solution uses a pay-per-use model with an annual subscription fee or package. Typically this solution is used on a cloud platform, such as Azure or AWS, but more people are choosing Azure because the price is more reasonable."

"Price-wise, I would rate Databricks a three out of five."

More Databricks pricing and cost advice

"We paid a one-time fee, which included product purchase, licensing, and first-time implementation. We are paying for the maintenance regularly."

"The solution's pricing is specific to your requirements."

"If you are using SAP, then you will have to take an SAP Connector license. The license across the tool is paying for the people who are using it as an admin or as a normal user. They can work out those costs in a manner that can help. This can also be a point of improvement where they can work out the costing, and the developers have a specific licensing cost. The normal users, who are going to do probably data entry or just going to view the dashboard, can have a separate license cost."

"The product’s pricing will not be suitable for setting up a small solution."

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

"Excellent value for money."
